Hi!

I'm new here and this is my first post!

First of all, sorry for my English, I'll try my best haha biggrin.gif

My name is David, I'm 22, I'm from Catalonia, Spain, and I've been working on a 1987 CRX from four months.

This cars wasn't sold here on Spain (this fucking country sucks..) so for me its even more harder to find parts laugh.gif This was imported from Germany on 1997, so... 10 winters on Germany... ph34r.gif

I got this car for free from a friend, it was without engine, a pitty because it was a ZC but I've the B16a1 from my previous Civic whitch a drunkman totalled whet it was parked in front of my house.

B16a1 block & head
B16a2 camshafts
Spoon ECU 5k Vtec, to 8.6 Rev limit.
Cusco 1.5 way LSD
4.9 FD


My beloved Civic, I miss it sad.gif



And now the CRX!

Towing home







And this is how it "sits" 4 months after



The car ended to have a few rust spots on the comon places, driver and passanger floor, rear arches, under the sideskirts, you know..

I've done some rust repairs..







I'm working on this now






I would like to post more pictures but I wasn't allowed sad.gif


thanks for watching!!

Thats an interesting rear spoiler. Is that the after market one that was offered back in the 80/90's? I recognise if from a few different brouchers that are floating around. Love the frame off rebuild.

Being honest, I don't know what spoiler is that haha. I have another trunk with the OEM foam one.
This one I thinks is from a Renault R19 but I'm not sure.
